FILE – Bahaa el-Din Abu ShokaCAIRO – 2 April 2018: In his first interview with the press after being elected as chairman of the Wafd political party on Friday, Bahaa el-Din Abu Shoka reveals to Egypt Today his plans for the party. The Wafd party, during the past 100 years, from 1919 until today, has kept up with Egyptians. This happened in the 1919 revolution.The symbol of the Wafd party from then until today is the crescent with the cross within it. Applying this to the Wafd party, the party needs to return to the start; what are the principles that the party holds? In fact, if legal action is required, I will not be afraid to take action.Young members of Wafd party are the hope for the future.
